ATOMIZER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 515,504, dated February2'7, 1894.

Application filed March 29,1893. Serial No. 468,136. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that LJOHN H. SCHARLING, a citizen of-the United States,residing at N ewark, in the countyof Essex and State of New Jersey, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Atomizers; and I dohereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descriptionof the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to whichit appertains to make and use thesame, reference being bad to theaccompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, whichform part of this specification.

My invention has reference to improvements in atomizers, and theinvention has for; its object to provide an atomizer, on the neck of thebottle of Which is secured a non-compressible air-chamber provided withvalves, and the spray-tube or nozzle, and communicating with saidchamber is a compressible bulb or ball, in which, however, all valvesare dispensed with.

The invention therefore consists in theatomizer herein. set forth, as anew article of manufacture, and also in certain novel arrangements andcombinations of parts, such as will be hereinafter more fully set forth,

and finally embodied in the clauses of the f claim.

The present invention is illustrated in the accompanying sheet ofdrawings, in which similar letters of reference are employed to indicatecorresponding parts in each of the several views.

views, B is an atomizer, which maybe of any suitable form andconstruction, and may be made, either of glass or metal.

A is anon-compressible cap forming an air chamber, which cap is providedwith a shoulder a and a screw-threaded portion a by means of which thecap can be detachably secured in the neck of the bottle or atomizer B.Said cap A, which is preferably of metal, may

be cast in halves and soldered or secured to; gether to form the saidchamber, or it may be made in any other well-known manner.

-At or near the top of said cap A, I have formed a tubular projection a,which termi known means may be employed for securing the bulb orball tosaid cap A, the purpose being to establish a communication between theair chamber formed by said cap A and the compressible bulb or ball 0. Inthe side of said cap A, is an inlet valve. Said valve is arranged overan opening or hole a and consists of a screw-threaded valve chamber d,which is screwed into the tubular enlargement a. surrounding said hole aSaid valve-chamber d is provided with a hole or vent d and directly oversaid vent d is a rubber disk e and arranged behind the same is acircular piece of wire netting or a sieve The screw-threaded portion asecured in the neck of the bottle B, is provided with a hole a andsurrounding the same is a tubular enlargement a which is screw-threadedon the inside and has screwed therein a valve chamber 9 provided with avent g. Against the hole a I have arranged a rubber disk 6' and behindsaid disk is a circular piece of wire netting or a sieve f.

Of course it will be evident that any other well-known forms of valvesmay be used in place of those shown in .Fig. 2, and I therefore do notlimit my invention to the exact form of valves shown. At one side ofsaid cap A is a bent tube a", which extends down into the chamber formedby said cap A and forms part of the same, and has on its free end anozzle or sprayer a Within said tube a and terminating directly in frontof an opening a in said nozzle a is a small piece of tubing it, held inposition by said nozzle or sprayer a the opposite end of said tube hextending down into the liquid in the bottle B, as will be clearly seenfrom Fig. 2.

When the bulb or ball 0 is compressed, the

air in the es Ashuts the va lve'di k. eag iil the hole a and therebycloses thevalve, while t the valve disk 6' is forced away from theholeforced through the tube a and out of the opening a which causes theliquid to spra instead of passing therefrorn in a steady stream, as willbe evident. As soon as the bulb or ball is "releases by the operator,the valve disk e is forced against the hole a which closes the valve,while the suction caused by the expanding of the bulbor ball 0, forcestbe'rubber disk 6 away from the hole a and allowing an ingress of air,to again 'fil'lthe ball or bulb. that the back: pressure in the bOttlQB,closes the valve connected therewith while the.

valve in the cap A is opened to fill the chamber and the ball 0.

Having thus described my invention, what I'claim iso I 1 loan atomizer,in combination,a cap A forming anair chamber, a screw-threaded andtubular projection a on the side of said cap,

In an atomizer, incombination, a cap A forming an air chamber, a screw threaded andtubular projection a, in the side of the cap, a valve plate d secured insaid projection and 40 a valve therein, a screw threaded and tubularprojection a in the bottom of said cap, anda valve in said projectiomatubularprojection a in the upperportion of saidcap, a flexible air bulbor ball secured to said pro- 5 jection a and a tube 1 provided with anozzle, said tube a forming part of said cap, a

bottle B to which saidca'p is secured, and a spray tu'be h arranged insaid tube a? extending into said bottle, all arranged substantially asand for the purposes set forth.

In testimony that I claim the invention set forth above I have hereuntoset my hand this 27th day of MaI'Ch, 1893.
